Embrace Your Age
I Remember as a teenager how I looked forward to the day when I could legally walk into a bar and order a pint of beer. There were many occassions when I tried to look older than I was to get into a pub. Time moves along at a fairly rapid pace and before you know it your looking back on those days with fond and maybe not so fond memories.
When we’re younger, we want to be older, and when we’re finally older, we want to be young again…but here are a few tips for embracing your age.
Humor
Live. Love. LAUGH.They say Laughter is the medicine for the soul it's good for your spirit and your body as well, carrying various health benefits such as the release of chemicals that make you feel good. The brain is a resvoiur of happy chemicals waiting to be released. So when was the last time you had a really good belly laugh?? I mean the one where you nearly pee your pants or in some cases actually do! lol
Remember when you were a kid you always found something funny to laugh about...and especially at older people..(well me anyway).To me older people always seemed so stern and uptight. I remember as a kid and being brought up catholic I always got the giggles whenever I had to go to church..invariably there would be someone doing something in church that you thought funny and of course if you were with a friend and you shared the joke it would turn into full blown hilarity You know that deep belly laugh that you desperately tried to old back? And those sitting near you would give you that under the brow look. and sometimes no matter what you just couldnt hold it in any longer and it would come out has a big hissing sound and you would try to mask it with a loud cough...Yeah they were good days of laughing about silly things.
I really want to encourage you to go find a few funny books, movies, or television shows that make you smile, chuckle, and guffaw, and see how your mood and your perspective improve It really is great medicine to uplift the spirit.

Thanks Marcus. We could all use a bit of humour in our lives. One things for sure though, my body constantly reminds me just how old I am, especially when I play with my great grandkids. Jim
Hi Marcus,
Just by read your post, I had a good laugh. I love good laugher. I make it a habit to laugh every day no matter what is going on in my life good or bad. Indeed, laughter is the best medicine. It's the only medicine I take daily.
Absolutely, we need to embrace our age. When we are young we want to be older for silly reasons and when we finally become of age we what to be younger than we are. i usually tell the young kids don't be in a rush to grow up too fast enjoy your childhood when you get older you will know why.
Thanks for making me laugh today! Much success to you!
Kind regards,
Nichola
